Universal Serial Bus (USB) Flash Drive with Swivel Cap Functionalities with Two Locking Positions

A method of manufacturing a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive comprising:

• securing a printed circuit board (PCB) support into a metal case;
• aligning a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) into a metal case to form a PCBA sub-assembly;
• pressing an end cap into the formed PCBA sub-assembly to form a PCBA end cap sub-assembly;
• forming a USB device by positioning the PCBA end cap sub-assembly in between an upper and a lower molding;
• aligning the PCBA end cap sub-assembly inside the upper and lower moldings to form a USB device sub-assembly;
• and
• attaching the metal cap to the USB device sub-assembly thereby enabling the swivel cap to lock in a first locking position and a second locking position, wherein the metal cap is in a locked position when the snap slot is aligned atop snap lock tab, wherein the metal cap is in a locked position when the snap lock tab is inserted into the snap slot such that the protrusion snap ring is positioned flush against the snap lock groove, wherein the metal cap is in a unlocked position when the snap slot is not aligned atop snap lock tab and the protrusion snap ring is raised up and resting upon the two snap lock tabs, wherein the locking and unlocking design requires the protrusion snap ring to raise up and out of the snap lock groove to rest on the snap lock tabs when unlocked, and descend downward until the protrusion snap ring is pressed flush with snap lock groove, and lock tab is secured inside snap slot, when locked.

A method of manufacturing a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive comprising:

• securing a chip on board (COB) support into a metal case;
• aligning a (COB) into a metal case to form a COB sub-assembly;
• pressing an end cap into the formed COB sub-assembly to form a COB end cap sub-assembly;
• forming a USB device by positioning the COB end cap sub-assembly inside a frame in between an upper and a lower molding;
• aligning the COB end cap sub-assembly inside the frame and between the upper and lower moldings to form a USB device sub-assembly;
• and
• attaching the metal cap to the USB device sub-assembly thereby enabling the swivel cap to lock in a first locking position and a second locking position, wherein the metal cap is in a locked position when the snap slot is aligned atop snap lock tab, wherein the metal cap is in a locked position when the snap lock tab is inserted into the snap slot such that the protrusion snap ring is positioned flush against the snap lock groove, wherein the metal cap is in a unlocked position when the snap slot is not aligned atop snap lock tab and the protrusion snap ring is raised up and resting upon the two snap lock tabs, wherein the locking and unlocking design requires the protrusion snap ring to raise up and out of the snap lock groove to rest on the snap lock tabs when unlocked, and descend downward until the protrusion snap ring is pressed flush with snap lock groove, and lock tab is secured inside snap slot, when locked.
